Abstract

The present invention relates to a system with dynamic number of coprocessor, uses coprocessor instructions as the instruction between a main processor and at least one coprocessor. The system comprises a main processor and plural coprocessors. Plural coprocessors assist the main processor to process some specific operations. The processor system executes plural instructions to process data operation and uses coprocessor instructions to communicate with plural coprocessors and to transfer/receive data. The cooperation instruction includes at least one re-adjustable instruction field that can be a field containing coprocessor number, coprocessor opcode number and coprocessor register or containing coprocessor code number and coprocessor register.
